| There is only one theater company of which I am aware that did a high-profile cancellation. Looks like other theater companies realize what a popular playwright he is. I love his off-the-wall and politically incorrect plays and usual have loud guffaws throughout his shows. As a business that hopes to make money, it pays to give the audience what they want to see. | |

| More than one theater cut ties with LaBute and cancelled productions that were in the pipeline. | |

| There were two theatres that "cut ties" with LaBute: MCC in NYC cancelled a scheduled production of "Reasons to be Pretty Happy," and ended his residency. Geffen Playhouse in L.A. cancelled a scheduled production of "Fat Pig." Neither theatre gave a reason why, and no one has come forward with allegations, etc. | |

| Nothing has been made public, but when MCC cut ties, they also called artists affiliated with the theater to tell them personally that they had stopped their relationship with LaBute. | |

| I assume it was not ready yet for a production and so mcc had to find substitute shows. Maybe that wasn’t the reason. | |
